MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions-remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of Timetics plugin versions through 1.0.53. The CVSS vector PR:N/AC:L confirms no authentication or complex prerequisites. The vulnerability exists in standard plugin installations without requiring non-default settings, specific WordPress configurations, or enabled features. Exploitation is limited only by network reachability to the WordPress site; sites behind IP restrictions or private networks reduce attack surface. No user interaction (UI:N) required, enabling fully automated exploitation. The authorization bypass affects publicly accessible plugin endpoints, making any internet-facing WordPress installation with Timetics installed and activated immediately vulnerable. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is HIGH for sites using Timetics. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates remote unauthenticated exploitation with low complexity-attackers need only network access to vulnerable WordPress sites running the plugin. The attack requires no special conditions, no user interaction, and no authentication, making it trivially exploitable at scale via automated scanning. High confidentiality impact (C:H) suggests exposure of sensitive booking data, customer information, or administrative details, while low integrity impact (I:L) indicates potential unauthorized modifications to bookings or settings. EPSS score and KEV status are not provided, so widespread exploitation status remains unknown. However, Patchstack's involvement suggests professional vulnerability research and likely notification to affected users. No public POC is confirmed from available data. The primary risk is data exposure in booking systems handling customer PII, appointment details, or payment information. Sites using Timetics for business-critical scheduling face operational risk from unauthorized booking manipulation. Authentication bypass tag confirms the authorization flaw extends to authentication boundaries, elevating severity beyond typical broken access control. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Timetics 1.0.53 through automated plugin version enumeration. They craft HTTP requests directly to the plugin's REST API endpoints or AJAX handlers, bypassing missing authorization checks to enumerate customer booking data, export appointment schedules with contact details, or modify booking availability to disrupt business operations. With low attack complexity and no authentication required, attackers can script mass exploitation against all WordPress sites running vulnerable Timetics versions discovered via search engines or WordPress plugin reconnaissance. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 12, 2026
Missing authorization in Timetics WordPress plugin through version 1.0.53 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls and access sensitive administrative functions or data. With CVSS 8.2 (High), the vulnerability enables high confidentiality impact and low integrity impact against network-accessible instances. Patchstack reported this broken access control flaw, indicating potential exposure of booking systems, customer data, or administrative operations to unauthorized access without authentication.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade Timetics to version 1.0.54 or later if available, checking WordPress.org plugin repository or Arraytics vendor site for the patched release. Consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/timetics/vulnerability/wordpress-timetics-plugin-1-0-53-broken-access-control-vulnerability for confirmed fix version and upgrade instructions. If no patch is available, implement compensating controls: (1) Disable the Timetics plugin entirely until patched version releases-this eliminates booking functionality but removes attack surface; (2) Restrict network access to WordPress admin endpoints (/wp-admin/, /wp-json/) via IP allowlisting in .htaccess or web application firewall, limiting exposure to trusted networks only-note this may break legitimate remote admin access and mobile booking workflows; (3) Deploy WordPress security plugin with virtual patching capability (e.g., Wordfence, Patchstack) to block exploitation attempts at the WAF layer-effectiveness depends on signature coverage and may cause false positives. Monitor WordPress access logs for suspicious unauthenticated POST/GET requests to Timetics endpoints (/wp-json/timetics/v1/ or similar) as potential exploitation indicators.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Timetics is a WordPress plugin by Arraytics providing appointment scheduling and booking management functionality. The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), where security checks fail to verify user permissions before granting access to restricted functions or endpoints. This class of flaw typically occurs when developers implement authentication (verifying identity) but omit authorization checks (verifying permissions), allowing any authenticated user-or in this case, unauthenticated actors per CVSS PR:N-to access functionality intended for administrators or privileged roles. WordPress plugins commonly expose REST API endpoints or AJAX handlers that require explicit capability checks using functions like current_user_can(); omitting these checks creates authorization bypasses. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:arraytics:timetics) confirms all versions through 1.0.53 contain this flaw.

DescriptionCVE.org
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Arraytics Timetics allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.
This issue affects Timetics: from n/a through 1.0.53.
Executive ViewAI
The Timetics WordPress plugin (versions through 1.0.53) contains a critical authorization bypass that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive administrative functions and customer data without credentials. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of unauthorized access to booking systems and administrative operations, potentially exposing customer information and enabling unauthorized modifications to business-critical features.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Deactivate the Timetics plugin until patch availability confirmed; (2) Restrict WordPress admin API access via WAF rules to authenticated users only; (3) Implement IP whitelisting for administrative functions if operationally feasible; (4) Enable comprehensive audit logging for all administrative access attempts; (5) Monitor for unauthorized access patterns in WordPress logs and booking system activity.
